Change we can believe in?

Dear Friend, As President Obama prepares to go before the American people at tonight's prime-time press conference, it is worth noting the growing inconsistencies between his soaring rhetoric on the campaign trail and his actions so far as President. Click below to see a video highlighting a few of the contradictions between Candidate Obama and President Obama. Candidate Obama promised to take a "scalpel" to wasteful earmarks in the federal budget but President Obama recently signed the pork-laden omnibus bill. Candidate Obama pledged to reinstate "pay-as-you-go" budgeting but President Obama's recent budget proposal will leave a whopping $9.3 trillion deficit over the next decade.  President Obama's actions clearly do not represent the change that he promised Americans on Election Day. The public is angry about these enormous government spending bills - especially in light of the scandal where taxpayer dollars were used to pay out excessive bonuses to failed American Insurance Group (A.I.G.) executives. Meanwhile, there are growing questions among members of the President's own political Party regarding the size and scope of his proposed budget. While you may not be able to ask a question at the press conference as President Obama makes his case to the American people tonight, keep in mind the difference between campaign pledges and broken promises.
